Symptom

While using SLT as source in Replication Flow in SAP Datasphere, cannot expand the folder.

Environment

SAP Datasphere

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Try to create a new replication flow.
  2. Select Source Connection
  3. Select Source Container -> SLT - SAP LT Replication Server -> ... cannot expand the folder.

Cause

It should not be possible to drill down on the SLT configuration at all.

Resolution

In order to select an object when working with SLT as the source, it needs to search for the table. There is no browse option and no drill down possible. The only way of adding a table is by using the search.
